Travis Hamonic reportedly has gained interest around the NHL but it appears the Canucks want to keep the defenseman.
"We like him as a player and individual," coach Travis Green said Sunday. "He's hard to play against and has been everything we'd hope he'd be. Hopefully he can stay here."
Sportsnet reported Hamonic, who was born in St. Malo, Manitoba, prefers to play for a team in Western Canada because of family reasons.
Hamonic has two assists and is averaging 18:18 of ice time in 19 games, and recently played on a defense pair with Quinn Hughes. Hamonic leads Canucks defensemen with 7.25 blocked shots per 60 minutes of ice time. The Canucks are sixth in the Scotia North Division, two points out of fourth. The top four teams will make the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"'Hammer' has been a good addition to our group," Green said. "He's got good size, closes hard, he's got a heavy stick. I think he's been a solid addition for us."
